Always good food and good service. The $20 corkage is a bit steep.
Kyle Brabender
This is my favorite chain Italian restaurant! I've always received great service and good food. Also, check out this restaurant if you need to plan a larger party. The party rooms are gorgeous.

It isn't awful, but it's definitely not great. Service is lacking. Food is poorly prepared and overpriced. They're clearly going for the upscale Italian restaurant, but the execution is mediocre. I have no issue spending $65 on a steak when it is properly prepared, but they can't seem to pull it off. I'm sure I'll be back.

Best pasta ever Hands down. If you want some real Italian food, guarantee this is the place to visit! This review is long over due!!!

I had the chicken salad for lunch. It was very good. The seating outside is very nice and the area around the restaurant is fun to walk around.
Julie Jenkins
Service has always been great for us. It is leisurely which is more European. They are dog friendly and had a dish of water for our dog. Love the food!

This is one of the oldest restaurants in Old Town since Old Town was revamped ~30 years ago. My dad took me here when I was young. A staff member actually moved out of my way as I was walking by and signaled me to come through, like I was more important, even though I was just a kid. It was the first time this happened and I was surprised. I thought wow, what a nice place! Since then, the service has been no different, and the food is perfect every time.
Blaze Schaefer
I simply loved their dishes. I always get excellent service here. The place is well kept and the cashiers are always very kind. Will come visit again.
Sean McGartland
Very good service. Tasty meal.
Yousef Almubarak
Big restaurant with above average taste Italian food. The staff are nice and the seating area is great. The pizzas are good. The downside is the meal sizes. They are small and in the high price side
Gary Galperin
Fantastic service! Great bar and wine selection for the price! The food is quite good for the price and the ambient is absolutely perfect! A good choice!
Bubba Ray
Lombarda menu has Osso Bucco which you must try before you die. It's a break shank braised with seasonal root vegetables served with saffron risotto. The kid's Mac and Cheese is incredible as well.
Jose Villanueva
This is one of my favorite places to eat in Pasadena. I had the Ravioli de Lucana and my wife has the Cappellini Pompodoro. The food was very good and paired well with the white wine we ordered. They include some delicious bread while you wait ad decided de what to order. The staff is friendly and work hard to make sure you are well taken care of while you eat
Murriel Hays

Had Mild Fish with lemon caper sauce, spinach & garlic, & mashed potatoes. Very good. Spouse had Fettuccini alla Bolognese- good but needed more spices as it was very bland. Cannoli's were delish as usual.

Went for happy hour. Limited, but high quality happy hour menu. The bar service is friendly and helpful. Ambience is good. The happy hour cheese and meat platter comes with a glass of Lambrusco for around $10. Great deal ( if Lambrusco is your thing)
Ron J
Delicious food and great atmosphere
Derek McLaughlin
Loved the seasonal menu. Savanna, our server, was great!
Stan Dela Cruz
This Italian resto is superb!, you should call for reservation but they always accept walk-ins but you should prepare to wait!Parking lot is secured and the place is romantic, they have outside sitting area too.You must try Pizza Cristina!!!
Karyn Nireva
Pretty good, a little pricey. The food came out quick and the servers were very nice! Definitely reccomend for a romantic dinner or formal family gathering
Tony Parodi
Fine Italian dining! I've had many things on the menu all of them awesome. The manager is a Class Act. You will not be disappointed

I'm a huge fan of the Il Fornaio chain. The service was great and the staff all seemed to be on the ball. We went for lunch on New Years Day right after the Parade and it was pleasantly packed. The bread is amazing (as always), we also had one of their pizzas (can't remember the name but it was packed with meat and cheese. My only problem with the meal was the Caprese. It was absolutely delicious but only came with 3 (we had 4 in our group) - we asked if the waiter could bring one more (figuring she'd just charge us a little extra). Another waiter brought us an entire plate and we figured they were just being nice and made a mistake in the kitchen since the plate they brought us was warm. Gotta tell ya - heated buff mozz over a large tomato is gross. The cheese was sticky and tomato was all smushy. When the bill came, they had charged us for the extra plate. We didn't make a fuss (we were with friends and they brought us).
